    I changed the batterie out and now my stereo does not work! It is
    prompting me for a CODE, which I do not have/know. I am the 2nd owner
    and, have no idea what happened to the (where it was recorded), code.
    Thanks.

    If you have the owner's manual there might be a little square of paper
    in it with the code. Volvo put one in the manual I got with my
    second-hand 1999 S70. Good luck!

    A dealer will give you this code for free.

    May I throw a 'twist' into this??

    I have a second hand '98 Volvo V70 GLT wagon (got it from my
    sister-in-law). I've got the same issue after a dead battery, but get
    this --- neither of two codes I got from the Winston-Salem Volvo DEALER
    today will work! When I called them up this morning, they first checked
    the VIN number. When that code didn't work, I snapped out the radio and
    gave them the model and serial number over the phone. Of course, by
    this time I had put the infamous "2 hour lock" on the thing, so I had
    to wait till tonight to find out that the second code they gave me
    didn't work.

    I'm guessing it may be time to start looking up a direct link to those
    "Volvo America" folks up in NJ (?) to see if they have any bright ideas.
